Claims to be a physics game, lol. If physics include phasing through objects, sure. Decent game just a bit buggy
I've heard this issue from a few people but haven't been able to recreate it on my computer. Are you encountering this on all levels, with static walls or just moving walls?
I was having issues with the ball physics when I was using framerate for speed but it fixed it on my end once I used deltatime instead.
If you don't mind me asking, what setup do you have? I'm on a windows 11 ASUS laptop - I'll put some time into trying to fix this :)
If frame-rate is the issue that makes sense. I was using a 2013 computer with plenty of viruses. once I played it on some better hardware it felt great. So in that case the game is fine.
Finally got them all. It was pretty hard.
At first I couldn't complete the first level, but then I noticed that if I exited the level and zoomed in on the navigator tab the circles got bigger, and after increasing it several times I finally managed to complete the first level. Afterwards it was measuring shots and repeating them again and again until I got them all.
Nice game, it would be nice to have an additional scene or image at the end once you get them all with gold.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback.
And great suggestion about having a bonus image for getting all gold!
